Builders of Small Homes Al
ready Making In
quiries for Lo
cations.
Small homes, house* of four, five
and six rooms, will form t lie bulk
of the building tills year In Omaha.
Not only that but there will be a
great number of homes built during
the "building months.”
Byron Hastings, president of
Hasting* * Heyden, realtors, has de
clared that this is his idea of the
prospects for the coming year.
"Not only do people want small
homes but they want them out of
the congested districts,” he declared.
"Omahans don't want to be packed In
some one small area. They want ft
chance to get out where they can
have a little garden and a few fruit
trees.
Many Early Inquirers
"So far thla year we have had
more Inquiries about thla class of
property than ever before. Every In
dication Is for a banner year In busi
ness.
"From my observation the principal
builder this year will be the man who
wants a little home and an Inex
pensive home. The majority of peo
ple who are building now are work
ing for a salary and are not able to
Invest heavily In a plare to live.
"One of the greatest factors In
the trend of building away from the
crowded sections of the city, out
toward the acre and half acre-trarts.
la the automobile. There was a time
when It would have been Impossible
for the average person to live out
three or four miles from their plare
of business. Now almost everyone
owns a motor car of some descrip
tion apd they can easily get back
and forth.
Ia>an Companies Help
"Another thing that encourages
people in this Is Omaha's exception
ally fine building and loan companies.
If a man owns a lot It is a com
paratively simple thing to borrow the
money for building a home. Chief
among the reasons for making these
loans is the fact that every such home
means a permanent citizen for Omaha.
"Omaha has exceptionally advan
tageous Interest rates and payment
plans. The bulk of lots In the city
are -old for a small down payment
and unbelievably amall monthly pay
ments.
“All of this helps Omaha, and peo
ple realize It. That makes Omaha
grow and makes us look for a banner
year."

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair In
food condition, be careful what you
wash It wifh.
Many aoapa and prepared sham
pooa contain too much frcn alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Mulslfied
cocoanut oil shampoo (which Is pure
ahd entirely greaseless), is much bet
ter than anything else you can un
tor shampooing, as this cannot possi
bly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it In. Two or tnree
teaspoonfuls will make an abundanre
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excess oil. The hair dries quick
ly and evenly, and it leaves It fine
and silky, bright, fluffy, wavy, and
easy to manage.
You can gee Mulslfied cocoanut oil
fharnpoo at any drug store. Jt Is in
expensive, and a few ounces will last
everyone in the family for months.

Modified and Extrenie Spanish Type Bungalow
Compactness, good ventilation and
good heating facilities are the three
chief requisites of the modern home.
That ft the opinion of T. H. Mean
ner, president of the T. II. Maenner
company, a designer of homes.
The home, in Maenner's estimation,
must be compact for heating, for care
and for comfort. Good ventilation in
summer Is as essential as plenty of
heat in the winter. A house with lots
of windows does not necessarily have
to be well ventilated, but such a place
would be hard to heat.
A house with windows properly
placed may be well ventilated and ,
still, when aided by compactness, be
easily heated.
To this end he has borrowed an
idea from the Spanish type of archi
tecture. There is no patio In the plan
but the interior and many of the
little additions to the exterior of the
house are taken direct from the
spacious homes of Spain.
A Five-Room Home.
The home built on this plan is
30 feet long and 28 feet wide and
is one and one half stories In height.
It contains five rooms and is planned
to save steps and work.
Windows on every side a«sure
plentiful ventilation during the hot
months of summer and yet they are
located in such a way that there
ty. lie declared that Omaha is a
good market for farm produce and is
an economical city in which to live.
There was no factor, he said, which
would lead any one to think that the
coming year would be anything but
bright In the real estate business.
And, he added, real estate sets a
standard. ,

Attention to detail has given the
exterior of the house a charming
effect. The stone work around the
doorway gives a latin air especially
when aided by the dainty awnings
over the front windows.
Awnings Are Work of Art.
The awnings In themselves are a
work of art. Unlike the usual awn
ing they have no side pieces and do
not lower to a point level with the
center of the window frame. Two
rods, topped with spear heads sup
port the canvas and broad stripes
of yellow and black harmonize with
the general scheme of exterior decora
tion. 1
In the eaves can be seen on# of the
latest ideas In architecture. In place
of long eaves extending over the side
of the house, the roof ends almost
flush with tho wall.
A r winging gate built across the
driveway relieves the side yard and
wall. The gate can be so constructed
that it will Interfere hut slightly with
the driving in and out of a motor car.
Inside are two bedrooms, a living
room, a dining room and kitchen.
The front door opens Into the living
room. One bedroom opens from the
living room and the other from the
dining room. The dining room has
been placed in an unusual position,
between the rear bedroom and the
kitchen.
Dining Least I'sed Room.
Mnonner explains this location of
the dining room by saying that this
is possibly the least used room, in
point of actual hours, in the house.
Ventilation here is less essential than
anywhere else. Yet, located as it is,
it is convenient to the kitchen.
The kitchen, in Maenner's estima
tion, is the crowning success of the
plan. It has one large window that
is clear of all obstruction, and a

Another house which Maenner has
designed and which has furnished
ideas for more moderate plans of

right, above.
More Spanish In Effect.
This house stays more to the true
Spanish type. It has the patio, the
stucco walls and the flat root of the
houses of Spain arid Latin America.
On the outside, the long windows,
the solid door and the small balcony
give it a very individual air. A care
ful selection of shrubbery will aid
materially in increasing this individual
atmosphere.
The floor plan of the home, except
for the increased spaciousness of the
front bedroom, is identical with that of
the mollified Spanish home.
A plan book, recently published by |
the Maenner company, gives these and
many other plans in detail.
